Color-Logic certifies ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP

Print Solutions

Color-Logic has certified the ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP for use with its metallic colour system. The intuitive RIP integration and white ink linearisation of the ColorByte RIP vastly simplifies the production of Color-Logic metallic colours and embellishments. 

For the certification, ColorByte submitted the official Color-Logic test form, produced on a Fluid Color UV inkjet printer using white plus CMYK inks on metallic stock. Testing confirmed that all the metallic colours, decorative effects, and embellishments printed correctly.

In addition to properly supporting Color-Logic embellishments, ColorByte has incorporated a Color-Logic interface directly into the ImagePrint UV RIP. This streamlined workflow eliminates the need for printers to perform special set up procedures or manually configure the RIP to print Color-Logic files. Operators simply bring the supplied PDF into the RIP and print.

The ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP also offers white ink linearisation capabilities. Precise control of white ink is essential when printing Color-Logic files on metallic substrates because the white ink determines how much of the metallic surface is revealed or suppressed. The ColorByte linearisation technology accurately and consistently reproduces Color-Logic metallic colours and effects across the entire tonal range of the file.

‘ColorByte has done more than ensure that ImagePrint UV correctly supports Color-Logic embellishments,’ said Mark Geeves, director of sales and marketing. ‘The company has developed an intuitive interface that makes the production process exceptionally simple for printers. Its white ink linearisation capability also provides the control required to reproduce Color-Logic metallic colours and effects properly throughout the complete tonal range.’

Certification of the ColorByte ImagePrint UV RIP provides print companies using compatible UV inkjet printers with a tested, straightforward workflow for producing premium metallic applications and print embellishments.
